The Spiritual Israel Church and Its Army (SICIA) is a spiritual church that emerged from the Church of God in David, a denomination that was founded in the mid-1920s in Alabama (and later moved to Michigan) by Bishop Derks Field. Upon Field's death, W. D. Dickson led the congregation and changed its name to the current title, against the wishes of Field's brother. With a largely African-American congregation, it promotes the belief that as Christians are children of God and are spiritual children of Israel, Israel is God, and to find God in oneself is to find Israel spiritually in oneself. Members refer to themselves as Israelites, not to be confused with Israelis. Though not separatist, the church is somewhat political, believing that Adam, Noah, Moses, and Jesus were all black men. Through its fellowship, this black church seeks to free the African-American community from dependence on white America.
